Yet, I have stock in companies whose stock massively increased after a new CEO. The stock never rose above a certain point for years, until the new CEO made it drastically rise. The workers seemingly did nothing different, yet the CEO made tweaks here and there and crafted communications in specific ways.

A good CEO is absolutely invaluable.

Stock price ≠ productivity

Stock price = company value of a publicly traded company.

A CEO differs from a General Manager.

"A chief executive officer (CEO) is the highest-ranking executive in a company, whose primary responsibilities include making major corporate decisions, managing the overall operations and resources of a company, acting as the main point of communication between the board of directors (the board) and corporate operations and being the public face of the company. A CEO is elected by the board and its shareholders." ~ https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/ceo.asp

"A general manager (GM) is in charge of part or all of a company's operations, including generating revenue and controlling costs." ~ https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/general-manager.asp
